Chapter 553: Lady Inayah's Advise

As Alexander ate his meal, the atmosphere suddenly turned a bit awkward, as it seemed that the two of them had run out of things to say.

"Oh, are you not interested why you never knew this secret before? Why everyone acted as if I had no husband before?" And as that stifling silence overtook the table, Lady Inayah at last added that reminder, before giving the answer by herself,

"Well, it's because Alozmer had commanded so."

"To pretend that I never had a husband. Or son"

And that finally explained to Alexander why Mikaya said the thing she had.

While Lady Inayah ended her reminiscence by saying,

"And so after this many years, people have simply gotten used to it."

"Many may have even been forgotten."

She had a very light tone to her voice as she quieted, but Alexander still imagined detecting a trace of emotion hiding within her.

It appeared despite whatever flaws that man might have had, he was at least better than Alozmer.
